An Example to demonstrate the program All files are in ASCII-text format; you can view them with any editor. In DOS the command more < filename is useful! README this file The following files are in the used format: train.dat the file with the training data: 8 input varibales, one output variable, two classes. The file has 6 instances. test.dat the file for testing the performance of the network. The inputs together with the desired outputs are given. The file contains the 6 training cases as well as 6 'similar' vectors. calc.dat the file to calculate the output of the network for given inputs. Only the 8 input variables are given. The file contains the 6 training cases as well as 6 'similar' vectors. backpro.net this is the network description file for using the program bpnet. logic.net this is the network description file for using the program logicnet. To run it: * start the program bpnet * select oad and load the file backpro.net or ew to create a network (for new see below); give any name for the logfile. * select eset to reset the weights (use standart parameters) * select rain to train the network (use train.dat as data file) and standart parameter * select

performance to evaluate the performance on the sets (use either train.dat or test.dat; performance on the training set or on the test set) * select alculate to calculate the response of the network to the given inputs; use the file calc.dat as input file, and calc.out as output file * quit the program you can now see the results in the logfile. The calculated response is stored in calc.out if you are using ew you have to give the following answers to the program: Setup a new Neural Network: --- Network Parameter: --- Number of inputs? 8 Number of layers (2..5) [3] : 3 Number of Neuerons in the 1. Layer? [4]2 Number of Neuerons in the 2. Layer? [4]3 Number of Neuerons in the 3. Layer = Number of outputs ? 1 Lambda value (0.1 .. 3) [1] : 1 Activation function (b=bi-polar, u=uni-polar)? u Logfile for this session: logfile
